TALK TO ME, I'M INTERESTING LOOKS CAN BE DECEIVING I'M COMPLETELY REINVENTING ME CHANGING LIVES LIKE CHANGING CLOTHES. I'M WRITING ME A MYSTERY STRICTLY TO ENTERTAIN A FANTASTIC HISTORY ARE YOU LISTENING? DREAM DOGS ARE DRAGGING ME DOWN, DROWNING ME I'VE GOT TO FIND A NEW WAY TO HOWL CAN'T STAND THE SOUND OF ME, DROWNING ME OUT. DREAM DOGS ARE DRAGGING ME DOWN, DROWNING ME I'VE GOT TO FIND A NEW WAY TO HOWL CAN'T STAND THE SOUND OF ME, DROWNING ME OUT. I LOOK THE PLAIN AND QUIET TYPE IT'S A CLEVER DISGUISE I REALLY AM QUITE BEAUTIFUL IT'S THE LIGHT, IT LIES. I'M REALLY NOT THIS OLD YOU KNOW I'M ONLY 25 IT WAS NECCESSARY FOR THE ROLE NO IT'S NOT REVERSIBLE. DREAM DOGS ARE DRAGGING ME DOWN, DROWNING ME I'VE GOT TO FIND A NEW WAY TO HOWL CAN'T STAND THE SOUND OF ME, DROWNING ME OUT. DREAM DOGS ARE DRAGGING ME DOWN, DROWNING ME I'VE GOT TO FIND A NEW WAY TO HOWL CAN'T STAND THE SOUND OF ME, DROWNING ME OUT. I'M NEVER IN THE SAME PLACE TWICE WHO KNOWS WHERE I WILL END YOU DIDN'T SEE ME YESTERDAY THAT WAS MY EVIL TWIN. SHE'S THE HAPPY HOUSEWIFE ALLWAYS WITH KID IN TOW I'M THE ONE, WITH THE LIFE HERE SHE COMES, GOT TO GO. DREAM DOGS ARE DRAGGING ME DOWN, DROWNING ME I'VE GOT TO FIND A NEW WAY TO HOWL CAN'T STAND THE SOUND OF ME, DROWNING ME OUT. DREAM DOGS ARE DRAGGING ME DOWN, DROWNING ME I'VE GOT TO FIND A NEW WAY TO HOWL CAN'T STAND THE SOUND OF ME, DROWNING ME OUT.

Right Time 04:47

RIGHT TIME ©2000 KIMREA WHEN YOU WERE YOUNG YOU WERE SO RECKLESS RUSHING HEADLONG INTO FATE AS YOU GROW OLDER, FEEL THE DANGER SEE THE SIGNS YOU HESITATE TAKE THE PLUNGE NOW, GET YOUR FEET WET THOSE IMPULSIVE MOMENTS YOU SOMETIMES REGRET YOU'VE BEEN FEELING YOUR MORTALITY TRED THOSE WATERS CAREFULLY. IT'S THE RIGHT TIME THE ONLY TIME YOU WANT TO DANCE THE DANCE YOU'VE GOT TO TAKE A CHANCE. IT'S THE RIGHT TIME THE ONLY TIME YOU WANT TO DANCE THE DANCE YOU'VE GOT TO TAKE A CHANCE. WHEN YOU WERE YOUNG YOUR WINGS WERE NEW AND YOU FELT SO MUCH BOLDER BUT TIME AND MANY SPILLS FINDS YOU CAUTIOUS AS YOU GROW OLDER FEAR BROUGHT ON BY REMEMBERED PAIN MAKES YOU SLOW TO GAMBLE LOVES ROULETTE AGAIN YOU LEAD A SHELTERED LIFE FAR FROM THE CUPIDS KNIFE. IT'S THE RIGHT TIME THE ONLY TIME YOU WANT TO DANCE THE DANCE YOU'VE GOT TO TAKE A CHANCE. IT'S THE RIGHT TIME THE ONLY TIME YOU WANT TO DANCE THE DANCE YOU'VE GOT TO TAKE A CHANCE. THE ROMANTIC VISION OF CHILDREN WHEN EVERYTHING IS RELEVANT BEFORE THE YEARS SET IN AND THE BITTER POISON MAKES IT'S DENT IT'S TOO SOON TO BECOME RECLUSIVE IS IT FEAR THAT LEAVES YOU ELUSIVE IN LOVE AND LIFE, JOY AND PAIN ARE A SCHOOL AND WHO IS WISER THAN THE FOOL? IT'S THE RIGHT TIME THE ONLY TIME YOU WANT TO DANCE THE DANCE YOU'VE GOT TO TAKE A CHANCE. IT'S THE RIGHT TIME THE ONLY TIME YOU WANT TO DANCE THE DANCE YOU'VE GOT TO TAKE A CHANCE.

SMALL BLUE BALL ©2000 KIMREA UPTOWN WITH THE DAWN BIRDS LISTENING TO THE DAY EMERGE LIKE AN ORGANISIM WAKING UP WAKING UP FROM SLEEPING LIKE AN UNCONSCIOUS RIVER MEETING THE SEA. ON A SMALL BLUE BALL WITH A LIFE OF IT'S OWN BOUNCING AROUND THE GALAXY FROM WHO'S HAND ARE WE THROWN? WILL THERE BE SOMEONE THERE TO CATCH ME WHEN I'M FALLING? SITTING ON A STONE BENCH A STATUE WITH EYES AND EARS OBSERVING I CAN SEE THE CURVE OF THE EARTH. DIZZY, I CAN FEEL IT'S STEADY TURNING. ON A SMALL BLUE BALL WITH A LIFE OF IT'S OWN BOUNCING AROUND THE GALAXY FROM WHO'S HAND ARE WE THROWN? WILL THERE BE SOMEONE THERE TO CATCH ME WHEN I'M FALLING? WATCHING A SPARROW SATISFIED WITH A CRUMB AND A SONG RECEIVING HIS SIMPLE WANTS AND NEEDS I CAN FEEL THE UNIVERSE EXPANDING AND CONTRACTING LIKE GOD BREATHING. ON A SMALL BLUE BALL WITH A LIFE OF IT'S OWN BOUNCING AROUND THE GALAXY FROM WHO'S HAND ARE WE THROWN? WILL THERE BE SOMEONE THERE TO CATCH ME WHEN I'M FALLING?

GIVE ME SOME MUSIC ©2000 KIMREA SOME THINKING THOUGHTS, WOMAN SAT IN GREYING HAIR AND VELVET RAGS CONTEMPLATING THE PURSUITS OF THE SOUL IN AN ORGANIC WORLD ROCKING HER BODY TO AND FRO SOME DREAMING DREAMS, WOMAN SLEPT IN SILVER CLOUDS AND DENIM JEANS DRIFTING OFF IN A SEA OF IDEAS ON A CONCRETE BED ROCKING HER HEART AGAINST THE COLD. GIVE ME SOME MUSIC, I NEED A SONG AND WHEN IT'S OVER, SEND ME ANOTHER ONE IT'S NEVER ENOUGH, I'M HUNGRY FOR A TUNE DO YOU KNOW WHERE ONE GROWS? SOME PLANNING PLANS, WOMAN REACHED PAST SMOKE AND MIRRORS AND SILK TOUNGED SUITS UNDER THE THUMB OF CONTROL, BETWEEN STEEL AND STONE, STANDING ALONE ROCKING HER SOUL IN THE WORLD. SOME JUDGING WORLDS, WOMAN STOOD UNDER GLASS IN CANVAS SHOES PAINTING A PICTURE OF HER INTENTIONS IN A PARCHMENT BOOK ROCKING HER PRAYERS TO THE WIND. GIVE ME SOME MUSIC, I NEED A SONG AND WHEN IT'S OVER, SEND ME ANOTHER ONE IT'S NEVER ENOUGH, I'M HUNGRY FOR A TUNE DO YOU KNOW WHERE ONE GROWS?

HANG ON LITTLE GIRL ©2000 KIMREA SHE WAS RIDING A CAROUSEL WHITE SWAN BOATS AND DARK NIGHTMARES DREAMING DREAMS IN AN EMOTIONAL HELL GOLDEN RING ALWAYS OUT OF REACH. WISE MAN CAME TO HER THROWING PENNIES ON THE GROUND COPPER PENNIES ALL AROUND SOFTLY SINGING HANG ON LITTLE GIRL HOLD ONTO YOUR DREAMS PLANT THEM FIRMLY IN YOUR HEART THINK OF THEM AS SEEDS. SHE RISES LIKE THE MORNING WITH THE OCEAN TIDE AND SOARS LIKE A FULL MOON THAT WANES WITH A SIGH. HANG ON LITTLE GIRL HOLD ONTO YOUR DREAMS PLANT THEM FIRMLY IN YOUR HEART THINK OF THEM AS SEEDS. LAUGHTER FLICKERS LIKE A DYING FIRE TEARS ROLL IN, WHEELS THAT SPIN OH, BUT SHE FLEW SO HIGH DAMN THAT PENDULUM WISE MAN CAME TO HER THROWING PENNIES ON THE GROUND COPPER PENNIES ALL AROUND SOFTLY SINGING HANG ON LITTLE GIRL HOLD ONTO YOUR DREAMS PLANT THEM FIRMLY IN YOUR HEART THINK OF THEM AS SEEDS. WINGS OF WAX AND ROOMS OF GLASS BUTTERFLIES INTO THE FLAME SPIN AND TURN AND DANCE THEIR LAST AGONY AND ECSTASY. HANG ON LITTLE GIRL HOLD ONTO YOUR DREAMS PLANT THEM FIRMLY IN YOUR HEART THINK OF THEM AS SEEDS.

MY MIND GOES SEARCHING ©2000 KIMREA MY MIND GOES SEARCHING FOR UNPAVED ROAD THE PATH LESS TAKEN, THE RIVER BANK UNEXPLORED I WANT TO TAKE IT WHERE IT WANTS TO GO MY MIND GOES WANDERING OVER MEMORIES ROUND PEBBLES ROLLING SMOOTHLY TURNING YEAR AFTER YEAR I WANT TO TAKE IT WHERE IT WANTS TO GO. IN THE DUSK I HAVE LONGING IN THE DAWN I AM RARING TO GO I GET UP IN THE MORNING I FEEL THE WORLD TURNING IN MY SOUL MY MIND GOES SKIPPING THROUGH IMAGINATION ALL THINGS POSSIBLE A FIELD OF SLEEPING SEEDS I WANT TO TAKE IT WHERE IT WANTS TO GO. MY MIND GOES DRIFTING OFF LIKE A CLOUD IDEAS ACCUMALATING BURSTING IN SHOWERS I WANT TO TAKE IT WHERE IT WANTS TO GO. IN THE DUSK I HAVE LONGING IN THE DAWN I AM RARING TO GO I GET UP IN THE MORNING I FEEL THE WORLD TURNING IN MY SOUL

FLOWER ©2000 KIMREA I SAW A FLOWER THAT REMINDED ME OF YOU. IT GROWS IN A MEADOW, IT'S COLOR IS SKY BLUE STANDING SO SOLITARY HE BREATHES THE FRESH AIR ALL ALONE HE HOLDS HE'S OWN. I SAW A FLOWER THAT REMINDED ME OF YOU. IT GROWS IN A MEADOW, IT'S COLOR IS SKY BLUE. AND I KNOW HE'S LONELY HE THINKS HE'S THE ONLY ONE LIKE HIM. BUT IF HE'D LOOK AROUND HIM WHAT HE'D SEE WOULD ASTOUND HIM. I SAW A FLOWER THAT REMINDED ME OF YOU. IT GROWS IN A MEADOW, IT'S COLOR IS SKY BLUE STANDING SO SOLITARY HE BREATHES THE FRESH AIR ALL ALONE HE HOLDS HE'S OWN. I SAW A FLOWER THAT REMINDED ME OF YOU. IT GROWS IN A MEADOW, SURROUNDED, BY FLOWERS OF SKY BLUE. AND I KNOW THEY'RE LONELY THEY THINK THEY'RE THE ONLY ONES LIKE THEM BUT IF THEY'D LOOK AROUND THEM WHAT THEY'D SEE WOULD ASTOUND THEM. OH, I SAW SOME PEOPLE THAT REMINDED ME OF FLOWERS AND IF THEY'D LOOK AROUND THEM WHAT THEY'D SEE WOULD ASTOUND THEM. AND IF THEY'D LOOK AROUND THEM WHAT THEY'D SEE WOULD ASTOUND THEM. I SAW A FLOWER I SAW A FLOWER I SAW A FLOWER I SAW A FLOWER I SAW A FLOWER THAT REMINDED ME OF YOU.

SONG TO THE SEASON ©2000 KIMREA THE OWL ASK THE QUESTION IT'S TIME FOR INTROSPECTION THE EVENING HOUR SO GOLDEN FILLS MY HEART WITH LONGING A DOG BARKS IN THE DISTANCE THE BIRDS SING WITH INSISTENCE EVERYWHERE IS THE ANSWER IT DOSN'T REALLY MATTER IT DOSN'T MATTER AFTER ALL. I WILL GIVE MY SONG TO THE SEASON I WILL SING MY SONG TO THE AIR I WILL SING WITHOUT ANY REASON OTHER THAN MY HEART FINDS IT PLEASING. THE WIND MOVES THROUGHT THE PINES THEY BEND THIER BRANCHES AND SIGH THE SUN SETS ON THE HORIZON FILLS THE SKY WITH FIRE. I PONDER THE CONSEQUENCE OF MY LIFE OFTEN FOOLISH AND FILLED WITH STRIFE A SQUIRRELL SCOLDS FROM THE RAFTERS IT DOSN'T REALLY MATTER IT DOSN'T MATTER AFTER ALL. I WILL GIVE MY SONG TO THE SEASON I WILL SING MY SONG TO THE AIR I WILL SING WITHOUT ANY REASON OTHER THAN MY HEART FINDS IT PLEASING.
